Provide shelter for homeless people during second lockdown
In the first lockdown, homeless people were provided with accommodation by the government in a scheme "Everyone In". This scheme should also be provided during the second lockdown, and in every subsequent lockdown in the future. We must provide accommodation for homeless people!
The government should re-instate the 'Everyone In' scheme. The threat of becoming seriously unwell is even higher now with homeless people out on the streets in sub zero temperatures. People deserve to be safe. It is a basic human right. Nobody should be put at increased risk of contracting COVID 19. Nobody should become very unwell or die from COVID, just because they do not have a fixed abode.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Government announced £15 million of funding for the Protect Programme to help areas that need additional support most to provide accommodation for rough sleepers during the restrictions and throughout winter. This will run alongside the ongoing ‘Everyone In’ campaign. You can find out more here:
